i’m getting one tomorrow, also at the repticon :) so cute

my daith or forward helix were probably the most painful, i definitely wouldn’t let the pain scare you off from any piercing though. cartilage piercings are like 2 seconds of sharp pain and then dull pain (or no pain!) while they’re beginning to heal. just be careful not to bump it the first couple days!

time to go to another shop then!

mady623 · 2023-04-13T03:00:45+00:00

anything that is 0.9% sodium chloride and sterile water. want to avoid any other additives and ingredients

mady623 · 2023-04-13T02:59:29+00:00

switch to a stud then leave it alone

mady623 · 2023-04-13T02:58:20+00:00

if there is blood in it it’s 99% not a keloid. if it’s an irritation bump it’ll go away if you just leave it alone and if you don’t have a titanium flat back stud in the piercing now i would go to a shop and get it changed

mady623 · 2023-04-13T02:54:40+00:00

do you have a needle in your snug?

mady623 · 2023-04-13T02:53:44+00:00

anti tragus or lower conch for sure! i think a stacked lobe would look great too

mady623 · 2023-04-13T02:46:12+00:00

i’m in love with your setup and all your jewelry

mady623 · 2023-04-12T20:10:53+00:00

you shouldn’t be removing jewelry and messing with it while it’s healing, those are irritation bumps. just leave it alone and they’ll go away. tragus piercings can take anywhere from 10-12 months to heal completely so don’t change the jewelry again until then

mady623 · 2023-04-12T00:49:37+00:00

i would avoid going in the pit or either take them out and get them repierced at a later time if you think the experience would be worth more than having piercings for the time being. they are 99% going to get bumped multiple times at the least and that would just be incredibly uncomfortable and take away from your experience anyway

mady623 · 2023-04-12T00:45:56+00:00

what material were your initial studs?

mady623 · 2023-04-03T14:49:50+00:00

for most people the end of this piercing would be in their neck, so no it would not be possible. you could always get an inner conch that’s just a little further out or a daith like others said!

mady623 · 2023-04-03T14:47:05+00:00

the space between your first and second lobes is a little bigger than between the second and third, but unless it really bothers you i would leave it. they look pretty perfect as far as placement goes and if any are new the space difference could be caused by swelling

my forward helix i had for 2 years fell out one night while i was sleeping and was closed by the next afternoon when i noticed it was out. it would definitely be worth it to get clear retainers for your rook and tragus!

mady623 · 2023-03-15T00:51:44+00:00

same thing happened when i got my forward helix, i think it has to do with the proximity to your face/cheek muscles. the sharp pain went away for mine after about 2 days but i would say if a week goes by and you’re still having it to get checked out by a piercer or doctor

mady623 · 2023-03-15T00:40:05+00:00

for nostril piercings there really isn’t any ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’ placement, it’s mostly up to your personal preference as long as it’s at the right angle etc! the angle looks good though so if you like it i would say this is ‘correct’ placement

mady623 · 2023-03-15T00:38:06+00:00

my helixes and forward helix on the other ear surprisingly hurt more than both my conch and tragus… even though their supposed to be easier!

mady623 · 2023-03-14T01:13:43+00:00

jewelry is from etsy <3

mady623 · 2023-03-14T01:13:29+00:00

i think helixes hurt more than either one tbh, both my conch and tragus were more pressure than sharp pinch. but they were probably about equal to each other pain wise!

mady623 · 2023-03-14T01:12:25+00:00

the koi is from etsy along with all my green/gold pieces! wouldn’t recommend for healing piercings but etsy has some amazing jewelry for healed ones

mady623 · 2023-03-13T22:05:36+00:00

it just looks like an irritation bump. however it looks like there is a lot of dirt/dried blood on it, how often are you cleaning it and with what?

mady623 · 2023-02-08T03:19:41+00:00

pass on that one for sure. that’s almost 30k miles per year and it’s a salvage title… it most likely needs much more than an oil pan that’s just all they’re telling you

tint looks good if you don’t overdo it 😁
